 * I’m trying to install akismet however I need an API Key, it says it should be
   on my profile. But I went to check on my profile and all it has is my info, and
   I went on my Email and it only says my Username, Password, and the Word Press
   link.

 * Go to WordPress.com. That’s DOT C-O-M.
 * Create a new account on WordPress.com. You will get a free wordpress.com hosted
   blog out of it, but you don’t need to use that one, you just need the API key.
 * After you create your WordPress.com account, the API key will be emailed to you.
   You can also get it on the Profile page of your new WordPress.com account.
